Yes Triumph TR ; I just know the race and the driver !

It looks like a British sports-car race from about 1957-59 - there is an Ace in the background, as well as another TR, a Healey Silverstone and what could be a Frazer Nash MM or Targa Florio. Goodwood ?

Yes , a British sports-car race from about 1957-59

T Petersen's Augean Stable entered Triumph TR3 from 1960
(or maybe I've found the wrong race)

Not 1960 !

I'm not sure what you need. Do you require the type of car and the year of the event?

Triumph TR3 with modified front end - 1958 ?

SACO · « **Reply #35 on:** April 02, 2013, 03:10:20 PM »

I just want the race and the driver (perhaps the maker )

Is it anything to do with the Autosport 3 -hour race ?

750MC 6hr Relay Race, 1958

Not that !

I don't even recognise the track - is it Castle Combe ?

SACO · « **Reply #42 on:** April 08, 2013, 04:09:19 AM »

Not Castle Combe !

Sorry ,it's a repost of MJW#098
Wilen Triumph TR2 at Silverstone 1957
Merged with 098 ?

nicanary · « **Reply #44 on:** April 08, 2013, 04:57:20 AM »

Well, I was right it was a TR2 ! I'm sure Silverstone had stands alongside the starting grid even in 1957, unless this race was started elsewhere on the track. Odd.

It did, and it had the Dunlop Tower for its commentators which would be visible in a grid photo at the angle we have.
